Around SBN: Post-UNC Thoughts

Because the Baltimore Orioles remain "a work in progress," as he terms it, Adam Jones may have to bide his time before he can strut his stuff in October. But let there be no mistake: The Orioles’ center fielder, who at 23 is younger than Ellsbury and Upton, is not afraid of the company he is keeping in the American League East.

Excellent so far...

The one thing I wanted for Jones this year was better plate discipline. Pretty much every great hitter has it. Last year, Jones drew only 23 walks the entire season, turning a decent .270 average into an anemic .311 OBP. This year, he’s already drawn 10 walks, leading to a much improved 68 point gap between his average and OBP. This feels like a very good sign for the near future.

on pace for better than 25 homers and 50 doubles.
